About Tails:
To use Tails, shut down the computer and start on your Tails USB stick instead of starting on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
You can temporarily turn your own computer into a secure machine. You can also stay safe while using the computer of somebody else. T
ails works on most computers less than 10 years old. You can start again on the other operating system after you shut down Tails.
You don't have to worry about the computer having viruses because Tails runs independently from the other operating system and never uses the hard disk. But, Tails cannot always protect you if you install it from a computer with viruses or if you use it on a computer with malicious hardware, like keyloggers.
Amnesia
Tails always starts from the same clean state and everything you do disappears automatically when you shut down Tails.
Without Tails, almost everything you do can leave traces on the computer:
Websites that you visited, even in private mode
Files that you opened, even if you deleted them
Passwords, even if you use a password manager
All the devices and Wi-Fi networks that you used
On the contrary, Tails never writes anything to the hard disk and only runs from the memory of the computer. The memory is entirely deleted when you shutdown Tails, erasing all possible traces.
This is live USB 3.0 stick, it will run on any modern computer directly from the flash drive. You must boot into the USB drive when you turn your computer on, it cannot be launched from within your operating system. This is accomplished by tapping the appropriate function key (F2, F10, F12, etc.) when you turn your computer on. Below are a common list of function keys by manufacture:
Dell: F12
HP: F2
Acer: F8
Samsung: Esc
Toshiba: F8
